The Border Guard in Tabuk coastal region foiled an attempt to smuggle a large quantity of narcotic pills, the spokesman for the Border Guard said. Captain Saher Al-Harbi said the electronic surveillance system spotted at dawn on Wednesday a maritime target (boat) when it attempted to reach the Saudi coast to deliver the drugs. The naval patrols were immediately directed to the scene of the incident, which turned out to be a rubber boat manned by two Egyptian nationals, the spokesman said. The search of the site came out with plastic barrels and bags filled with more than 780 thousand pills of amphetamine. The smugglers and the contrabands were handed over to the competent authority for prosecution.
